These are also known as ‘statutory rights’ as they are derived from laws such as the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 (as this Act has been amended from time to time). The law gives you certain legal rights including that the Goods are of satisfactory quality, as described, and fit for their purpose. Nothing in these Terms affects these legal rights. Further information on your legal rights can be obtained from your local Citizens’ Information Centre.

Introduction
These Terms explain how you may buy Goods from the Site. You should read the following Terms carefully before buying any Goods. When buying any Goods you agree to be bound by these Terms and the documents referred to in them. If you do not agree with or accept any of these Terms, you will not be allowed to buy any Goods unless we agree otherwise. If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us by email on [email protected]

All orders for Goods and services from the Site are accepted by us subject to these Terms, which override and exclude any other terms stipulated or incorporated or referred to by the Customer whether in the order or during any negotiations or any course of dealing established between Phillips Jewellers and the Customer, and constitute the entire understanding between Phillips Jewellers and the Customer for the sale of Goods or the provision of any services relating to them.

These Terms are only available in English. No other languages will apply to these Terms.

Ordering Goods from the Site
The steps required to create the Contract between you and us are as follows:

You place an order on the Site by adding the selected Good(s) to your Shopping Cart and completing the online checkout process. The display of Goods on the Site does not constitute an offer to sell them as described, or to sell any goods at all. By completing the online checkout process, you are making an offer to buy which incorporates these terms.

When your order is placed with us at the end of the online checkout process, we will e-mail you to acknowledge that we have received your order. This order acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted by us.

We may send you an e-mail to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:

  • the Goods are not available;
  • we cannot obtain authorisation of your payment;
  • you are not permitted to purchase the Goods; and
  • there has been an error by us on the pricing or description of the Goods.

We will only accept your order when we send you an e-mail that confirms this ('Confirmation E-mail'). At this point, a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us and at this point we will despatch the Goods to you ('Contract'). Any Goods on the same order which we have not confirmed in an order confirmation to have been despatched do not form part of that contract. We reserve the right to decline any order, without giving a reason.

When you order Goods from the Site, Specific Terms or Additional Terms or both may apply as follows:

Certain Goods that we sell may have specific terms and conditions that apply to it which are set out on the relevant webpage ('Specific Terms’);

We may also add to or replace these terms and conditions with additional terms and conditions ('Additional Terms'). This may happen, for example, for security, legal or regulatory reasons. We will e-mail to let you know if we intend to do this by giving you one (1) month’s notice. You may end the Contract at any time by giving one (1) month’s notice if we tell you that Additional Terms will apply to the Contract.

When you buy Goods from us under any Specific Terms or any Additional Terms you have legal rights. These are also known as ‘statutory rights’ as they are derived from laws such as the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 (as this Act has been amended from time to time). The law gives you certain legal rights including that the Goods are of satisfactory quality, as described, and fit for their purpose. Nothing in any Specific Terms or any Additional Terms affects these legal rights. Further information on your legal rights can be obtained from your local Citizens’ Information Centre.

When placing an order on the Site, you should take care to ensure that all of the information that you provide to us is correct although we appreciate that from time to time errors might be made. Therefore, please ensure that you take enough time to read and check your order before submitting it to us. If you need to correct any errors you can do so before submitting it to us.

These Terms cannot be varied except by changes made by us on the Site, which we may make from time to time. Proposed changes to the Terms will be notified to you by an update on our Site and your use of the Site after such update shall be taken as your full acceptance of such changes.

Nature of the Goods and faulty Goods

The law gives you certain legal rights if any of our Goods are faulty. You have rights relating to refunds and to have such Goods repaired or replaced if realistically possible. Nothing in these Terms affects these legal rights. If you want us to repair or replace the Goods or want a refund please e-mail or telephone, at the e-mail address and telephone number set out herein as soon as reasonably possible. Further information on your legal rights on faulty Goods can be obtained from your local Citizens’ Information Centre.

The packaging of the Goods may vary from that shown on the Site.

If you order Goods and we accept the order, we reserve the right to notify you at any time before delivery of the unavailability of the particular Goods ordered. You can then cancel the Contract and we will refund you all money paid in full. Alternatively, you can accept any equivalent product we offer to you.

If we experience difficulties in supplying certain Goods we may need to substitute them with alternative Goods of equal or better standard and value. We will try to e-mail to let you know if we intend to do this but this may not always be possible. You may refuse to accept such substitutes, in which case we will offer you a refund or a replacement and let you know how long such an offer remains open for.

In the case of an item being unavailable to order from the supplier, we reserve the right to cancel your order and refund you in full within 5 working days of the order being placed. We will notify you by email if this occurs.

‘Cooling off’ period and your right to cancel the Contract

You have a legal right to cancel the Contract during the ‘cooling off’ period set out in this clause 4. During the ‘cooling off’ period if you decide that, for whatever reason, you no longer want Goods that you have bought you may tell us that you want to cancel the Contract and obtain a refund. Further information on your legal rights can be obtained from your local Citizens’ Information Centre.

Your rights to cancel the Contract do not apply in certain limited circumstances.

Your right to cancel the Contract starts from the date when the Contract is entered into in accordance with Clause 2.1.4 (ie when the Confirmation E-mail is sent by us). If you have already received the Goods, you have a ‘cooling off’ period of 7 working days when you may cancel the Contract. This 7 day period: starts to run the day after you receive the Goods; and includes only working days so does not include Saturdays, Sundays or any bank holidays.

Please contact us if you want to cancel the Contract. In order to exercise your right to cancel the Agreement and to return the Goods to us you must obtain cancellation authorisation by emailing us at [email protected] before returning the Goods. Goods must be returned to Unit 9a Rathfarnham Shopping Centre, Rathfarnham, Dublin D14 W7Y7 as soon as possible in their original condition with packaging complete and seals unbroken. The original tag must not have been tampered with and must still be attached to the Goods returned. You should also include a return note and proof of purchase

As soon as possible after you contact us to cancel the Contract (and, in any event, within thirty (30) calendar days), we will refund the price of the Goods. If you are cancelling the Contract and returning the Goods because of a defect or the Goods were not as described, we will also refund any reasonable costs that you incur in returning the Goods to us. Any refunds will be made on the debit card or the credit card which you used to pay for the Goods.

If you have already received the Goods (for example, if the Goods have been delivered to you) you must return them to us as soon as possible. You have a legal duty to keep the Goods in your possession, to take reasonable care of them and not to use them before you return them to us. Unless you are returning the Goods because of a defect or the Goods were not as described, you are responsible for the cost of returning the Goods to us.

We cannot accept responsibility for parcels lost in transit and you are strongly recommended to obtain proof of posting when returning items. Title and risk to the Goods shall only pass back to us once they are received by us.

No refund will be made until the Goods are returned to us. Goods should be returned to us within five (5) working days of you notifying us of your intention to cancel the Contract. Notifying us of your intention to cancel the Contract does not extend the time within which you can return the Goods to us (i.e. we must receive the Goods back within thirty (30) days of delivery to you).

If you wish to change or cancel a Contract after you receive the Confirmation Email, it may not always be possible to stop your order from being despatched, as we endeavour to process orders immediately. If your order has already been despatched please return the order and we will reimburse you.

Please note that your right to return goods does not apply to certain goods. For hygiene reasons we cannot exchange or refund earrings unless they are defective or faulty. Items engraved cannot be refunded unless they are defective or faulty.

Delivery

All prices quoted on the Site are exclusive of delivery charges, which are to be paid by the Customer.

The estimated date for delivery of the Goods will be set out in the Confirmation Email. If something happens which is outside of our control and which affects the estimated date of delivery, we will let you have a revised estimated date for delivery of the Goods.

Delivery of the Goods will take place when we deliver them to the address that you gave to us. We use An Post to deliver our Goods to the delivery address provided by you, as stated in the Confirmation Email; if nobody is available to take delivery of the Goods, please e-mail or telephone at the e-mail address and telephone number set out herein so as to rearrange delivery. You will be responsible for the Goods when delivery has taken place (including ensuring that you follow any instructions or manuals provided with the Goods) and you will own the Goods when we receive payment in full for it and any respective delivery charges.

We will use reasonable efforts to meet any delivery date, but it should be understood that they are estimates and we are not liable (in contract, negligence or otherwise) for any loss or damage resulting from them not being met, howsoever caused, including delays in meeting delivery dates caused by public holidays and/or bank holidays and/or acts of God arising in Ireland and/or elsewhere. Where you have ordered more than one (1) item, we may make delivery in one (1) or more installments.

  • Subject to clause 2.8, complimentary shipping in Ireland is available for orders in excess of €50.00.

Payment

Payment is collected from your credit/debit card at the same time that your Confirmation Email is sent, and before the Goods are delivered.

We will do all that we reasonably can to ensure that all of the information which you provide to us when paying for the Goods is secure by using an encrypted secure payment mechanism but in the absence of negligence of our part we will not be liable for any loss that you may suffer if a third party gains unauthorised access to any information that you provide to us.

Nothing in this clause affects your legal rights to cancel the Contract during the ‘cooling off’ period under Clause 4.
